Positive: Professionalism, Quality
We booked for a special little new years getaway and had such an amazing time. The chalet was stunning, private and very clean. The surrounding gardens were so beautiful to explore, even during the wet weather. We'll definitely be recommending to others and staying again!

This retreat is absolutely exceptional! My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights in December. The gardens are magical, the breakfast hamper definitely worth it, and to top it all up - service is top level - we even received a surprise gift of homemade donuts!! We would highly recommend to everyone and can totally see why this is a highly sought after wedding venue!

Rainforest Gardens is the Redlands most incredible hidden Gem! We had our Wedding there in November and fell in love with the location the first time we set foot on the property. The staff went Above and beyond to ensure our special day went flawlessly and Adeline truly puts forth an incredible effort bringing all the vendors together seamlessly. Thank you!

We had a fantastic experience with the team at Rainforest Gardens. With only a small elopement of 4 people, the booking process was so easy and the property looked amazing our wedding day. Adeline organised a small tailor made drinks package just for us as we had such a small group. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a beautiful elopement spot that is great value.

Booked a quiet weekend away at Rainforest Gardens Escape back in August this year. Although this place is listed mostly as a popular wedding venue, it’s still a great option for a blissful escape as they only have 4 private chalets on the premise. Ultimate peace and quiet with no TV and just the sights and sounds of nature around you. If you need abit more entertainment, then have a walk around the property to explore and meet their alpacas and other farm animals. Loved our stay!

My husband and I got married at Rainforest Gardens on May 8th, 2021. I do not know how to thank the team enough for a wonderful day. Of course, the venue is absolutely beautiful and the alpacas were stunning, but I cannot thank Adeline, our coordinator Hannah, and the whole team enough for a perfect day.
The chalets were beautiful and so much fun to get ready in with my bridesmaid and stay with my husband after the wedding. There ceremony area is so brilliant, and people were so happy that everyone could have a seat. And the reception space was truly spectacular. Stunning views, great set-up.

Our wedding at Rainforest Gardens was everything we could have ever wished for!
Leading up to the day, Adeline was very supportive in helping to come up with ideas and answer any questions we had. As it got closer to the day, so was definitely quick to respond!
On the day, Hannah (day-of coordinator) made the day run very smoothly! She made sure we were in the right place at the right time and was very easy to work with.
We couldn't have asked for a better venue to have our wedding at!

Rainforest Gardens provides an amazing venue, with service to match! Adeline attended to all our needs and was easy to get in touch with when we needed to change/reschedule things. We got the wedding coordinator with our package, Rebecca, who enabled our day to run smoothly and was praised by many who attended as "the best wedding they'd ever been to." The entire process was extremely easy and we were thankful to the entire team for helping us provide our guests with such a great time. If you are considering a wedding with rustic theme or just an alternative to the overdone Sirromet Winery i would

We had our wedding at Rainforest Gardens in late September this year - it was the most amazing day! The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly (even racing around to find missing button holes!). We've had so much positive feedback from our guests saying how amazing the location was, how relaxed everything was and how amazing the food was! Would highly recommend Adeline and the team over and over again.
